"Five" was written at Armoury Studios in Vancouver with Joan Jett and Kathleen Hanna.

As a member of the mid-90s Washington-state band Bikini Kill, Kathleen helped start the Riot Grrrl movement, a blend of feminism and punk rock.

Kathleen says, "I don't believe in God, but I do believe God invented four-tracks".
Lyrics: Pretty palm, pretty balm, pretty bomb, pretty oh oh oh
Pretty sigh, pretty sun, pretty one, pretty oh oh oh

Radio and my television screen
Is it image you want
Is it really me
I've falling over something that I just can't explain

No, no, no, no
You want me to
You want me to
But I can't define

Desire
Do you wanna watch me cry
I cry a lot
Do you want me to come out
Ready or not

Do you want big proof?
Is that what need
Do you wanna watch me squirm
Do you wanna watch me bleed
Do you want
Everything?

Pretty palm, pretty balm, pretty bomb, pretty oh oh oh
Pretty sigh, pretty sun, pretty one, pretty oh oh oh

Radio and my television screen
Is it image you want
Is it really me
I've fallen into something that I just can't explain

No, no, no, no
You want me to
You want me to
But I can't define

Desire
Do you wanna watch me cry
Do you wanna make me bleed
Do you wanna hear me say
What I don't really mean

Do you want it so real
Do you want it so fake
Do you want big proof
Is that what you crave

Do you want to watch me crack
Wanna see me shatter
Make me behave
Doesn't really matter

I can't define desire
I won't defend desire
I can't defile desire
I won't defend desire

Radio, radio, radio is blaring
Radio, radio, radio is scaring me
Radio, radio, radio is blaring
Radio, radio, my radio is scaring me

You said
Explain this shit
I said

Fire
Do you wanna watch me cry
Do you wanna make me bleed
Do you wanna hear me say
What I don't really mean

Do you want it so real
Do you want it so fake
Do you want big proof
Is that what you crave

Do you wanna watch me crack
Wanna see me shatter
Make me behave
Doesn't really matter

Do you wanna watch me cry
I cry a lot
Do you want me to come out
Ready or not

Do you want big proof?
Is that watcha need
Do you wanna watch me squirm
Do you wanna watch me bleed
